bicupola
Sign in to saveIn geometry, a bicupola is a solid formed by connecting two cupolae on their bases. Here, two classes of bicupola are included because each cupola (bicupola half) is bordered by alternating triangles and squares. If similar faces are attached together the result is an orthobicupola; if squares are attached to triangles it is a gyrobicupola.
